Why Do Miracles Not Happen Anymore?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

A little boy once asked me,

“Why do miracles not happen anymore?”

This is something that I’ve heard many times.

People don’t believe in miracles because they don’t see them.

And yet God works wonders every day.

There is actually one I’d like to share with you in this Christian blog post.

There is a good woman at my church named Sarah (just for this article because I don’t know if she’d want me using her real name without her permission).

Sarah spends most of her time helping people.

In her profession, she nurses people back to health.

In her day-to-day, she volunteers.

She gives most of what she makes away.

And she does that with a smile on her face.

People see her and believe she was always like that.

What they don’t know is that Sarah grew up in the streets.

She was poor, and she was struggling with addiction.

Her friends and family had given up on her.

She felt alone, hopeless, and abandoned. 

But one fateful day, God stepped in and changed everything.

Sarah was wandering the streets, lost and desperate, when she stumbled upon a small church. 

She had no idea why she was drawn to it, but something within her compelled her to step inside. 

As she sat in the back, tears streaming down her face, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.

An elderly woman, with a warm smile and a gentle voice, asked Sarah if she was alright. 

Sarah, unable to hold back her emotions, shared her story of pain and despair. 

The woman listened intently, offering no judgment.

When Sarah finished, the woman asked if she could pray with her. 

Sarah, who had long since abandoned her faith, hesitated but ultimately agreed.

As they prayed together, something remarkable happened. 

Sarah felt an overwhelming sense of peace and love envelop her. 

Unlike anything she had ever experienced before. 

It was as if the weight of her struggles was being lifted from her shoulders. 

In that moment, Sarah knew, without a doubt, that God was with her.

From that day on, Sarah changed. 

She found the courage to face her addiction and began the journey toward recovery. 

She reconnected with her faith, attending church regularly, and forging a deep, personal relationship with God.

She even got a job as a nurse!

Over time, she began to share her story with others, offering hope and inspiration to those who were struggling.

That, my friends, is clear proof that miracles still happen.

Sarah’s story of redemption is a true testament to God’s love.

He supports us even when we don’t realize it.

Let us always remember that.

Why Does God Give People Disease?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

If you’ve ever had a religious conversation with an atheist, then this question probably came up.

“If there is a God, then why is He giving people cancer?”

Atheists are constantly trying to prove that God doesn’t exist.

But let’s go along with their argument for a while.

What if people didn’t ever become sick?


It sounds nice at first.

But take a moment to picture a world where everyone was healthy…no matter how much they abused their body.

Our actions would be robbed of their meaning.

It wouldn’t matter what we did.

Drinking.

Smoking.

Drugs.

Everything would be the same as living a healthy lifestyle.

And we would quickly not even have a reason to live purely.

Disease, however, is what gives our health meaning.

It allows us to appreciate what we have instead of taking it for granted.

It is the greatest motivator to exercise regularly, sleep 7 to 8 hours every night, and take care of our physical and spiritual health.

And it is how God tests our trust in Him.

When we face challenges, it can often be tempting to become discouraged or even question God’s plan.

However, if we approach these challenges with a positive attitude, they can become opportunities for us to grow in our faith and deepen our relationship with God.

One of the key biblical principles is perseverance.

In James 1:2-4, we are told to consider it pure joy when we face trials, because they test our faith and produce perseverance.

By relying on God’s strength and seeking His guidance during times of struggle, we can build resilience and deepen our trust in Him.

Through our hardships, we learn to be thankful for the blessings in our journeys.

Our loved ones, our health, our possessions, this is how everything gains meaning.

God sends challenges our way because He loves us and wants us to evolve.

So if you are ever faced with health issues, don’t be discouraged.

Be thankful for them.

They are not obstacles.

They are God’s way to allow us to appreciate His blessings to us.

This Is When The Devil Finds You At Your Weakest

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Have you ever wondered why resisting a late-night snack is difficult?

During the day, most people can stick to eating healthy.

But when the night comes, a lot of people feel the need to treat themselves to some “guilty pleasure.”

There is a very good reason why this happens.

And it’s the fact that as the day progresses, our willpower drops.

The Devil knows this.

And he does everything in his power to lure us away from God’s path.

He has many ways to do that.

He can give us sinful thoughts

Urge us to neglect our spiritual practices

Or push us toward unhealthy habits.

But we are not powerless against him.

We have God on our side.

Ephesians 6:11 says “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

This includes the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, and the sword of the Spirit.

It is not enough to simply put on the armor, we must also be ready to use it.

We need to be aware that the Devil is always seeking to exploit our weaknesses.

And one of these weaknesses is our declining willpower as the day progresses.

When we are tired or stressed, it becomes easier to give in to temptation. 

This is why it is essential to remain vigilant throughout the day, especially in the evening when we are most vulnerable.

As Christians, we have the power of prayer to strengthen us. 

We should make it a habit to pray for God’s protection and strength every day.

Even when we feel well.

We should also seek to build up our willpower by developing healthy habits that can aid us in resisting temptation. 

These habits might include regular exercise, getting enough rest, and avoiding situations that may trigger temptation.

Remember, we are not alone in this.

This is what Scripture says about willpower.

We can support each other and resist temptation.

Let us remain steadfast in our faith and the Devil will flee from us.

Why God Wants You To Look People In The Eye

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

It feels like everyone is glued to their screens nowadays.

(Especially teenagers).

Whatever is going on in their smartphones is more important than everything around them.

They hold most of their conversations in there, and they rarely look at each other’s faces.

It seems harmless

But have you ever had a conversation with someone who refused to make eye contact with you?

It feels like they are not present. Like you’re talking to a wall.

Eye contact has almost become an endangered species.

Looking people in the eye, however, is an essential part of our faith.

You will see why in a minute.

As Christians, we love one another and strive to be a reflection of Christ’s love.

One of the simplest yet most profound ways to demonstrate this love is by truly seeing the people around us.

And this starts with making eye contact.

When we look into someone’s eyes, we are essentially saying, “I see you. You matter. You are important to me.”

This has a profound impact on our relationships and our faith.

In our Holy Texts, Jesus often looked deeply into people’s eyes as He ministered to them, healed them, and forgave them.

When we make eye contact with others, we unlock the door to a deeper level of communication and understanding.

By looking someone in the eye, we signal that we are present, we are listening, and we genuinely care. 

This allows us to connect with others on a more intimate level.

To share our joys and our sorrows, and to walk alongside one another on this journey of faith.

Eye contact is essential for our health and our spirits.

So, I encourage you to take a moment, look the people around you in the eye, and truly see them for who they are. Beloved children of God.

As we do this, we will greatly deepen our relationships.

And we will understand one another like Jesus understood His principles.

This is how you make eye contact with confidence.

Let us always remember that.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day & How To Make Sure You Listen When God Speaks To You

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Someone once asked me, “I have reached out to God so many times but didn’t ever hear back from Him. Doesn’t He want to talk to me?”

This heart-wrenching question is not uncommon. Especially during the trying times we are currently going through.

When we find ourselves in the midst of storms, it’s natural to yearn for a clear, reassuring voice from above. A voice that would calm our troubled hearts and affirm that we are not alone.

I want to assure you that God does indeed hear you.

And he does more than that. He always responds.

But His responses might not be what we expect. 

He often communicates through subtle hints. Seemingly insignificant events that nudge us in the right direction.

These are the instances that we often overlook, dismiss as mere coincidence, or perhaps fail to acknowledge in our quest for more evident signs of His presence. 

The buddy who reaches out just when we’re feeling low.

The unexpected resolution to a lingering pain.

The gentle, comforting breeze on a particularly challenging day.

These are God’s whispers, His silent assurances that He is with us, guiding and protecting us.

The key to noticing these instances is developing a heightened sense of awareness.

Amid the noise and commotion of our experiences, it requires us to quieten our minds and attune our hearts to the subtleties of His divine orchestration. 

It’s about recognizing His voice in the silence, His presence in the solitude, His guidance in the seemingly mundane.

I encourage you to pause, breathe, and keenly observe the world around you.

Look for these subtle indications of His presence.

They might be unassuming and easy to overlook, but they are there, waiting to be found, affirming His guidance and love.

God’s communication often comes in the softest of whispers, rather than in roaring thunders.

So keep reaching out to Him. 

And as you do, listen intently. His answer may be subtly disguised in the happenings of your daily experiences.

God is indeed always speaking. The question is,

Are we listening?

“Christians Are Against Science”

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I’ve heard a lot of people say that Christians are against science.

And that we can’t believe in science if we also believe in God.

However, this is nothing but a misunderstanding.

Science is also one of God’s creations.

It is the study of the natural world and the laws that govern it. 

And it is simply a tool that helps us understand how the world works. 

Faith, on the other hand, is the belief in God and His plan for our lives.

And what most people don’t realize is that faith and science can coexist.

The Bible tells us that “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) and science helps us understand how and when that happened. 

For example, the evolution theory helps us understand species’ development on earth.

While the Bible tells us that God is the creator of everything.

Both faith and science can be used to understand the beauty and complexity of God’s creations.

Another critical aspect of the relationship between faith and science is in the area of ethics.

Science helps us understand the natural world and the consequences of our actions.

But it is our faith that guides us in making moral decisions based on the teachings of God. 

The Bible tells us “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).

People should continue to evolve according to God’s Will and help one another.

Science is simply a tool for that.

And we are not against it like most atheists think.

To make a long story short, science helps us understand how things work.

While faith helps us understand why they exist in the first place.

Together, they can give us a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it.

So let us continue to explore the world around us, with the guidance of our faith and the understanding provided by science.

Together, we can work to fulfill the purpose that God has for our lives and make a positive impact on the world.

This Is Pulling You Away From God’s Path

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Who is the biggest enemy of Christianity?

Is it atheism?

Is it other religions?

No, the biggest enemy of Christianity is distraction.

Distraction is everywhere.

In our smartphones.

In the media.

Even in our thoughts.

Many have wandered away from the flock, lured by the shiny lustre of materialism, quick gratification, and worldly pleasures.

But fear not my Christian friends.

For our God is a loving shepherd who will guide us back to His path if we are willing to follow.

To stay firmly rooted in our faith, we need to cultivate a relationship with God that is built on trust and communication.

This means setting aside time each day for prayer, Scripture study, and quiet reflection.

As we do this, we are opening our hearts to hear God’s voice while building a solid foundation that can withstand the storms.

Our community plays a crucial role in keeping us grounded as well.

As we gather together in worship, fellowship, and service, we are reminded of our shared mission to be the light of Christ in the world.

We can support one another, pray for one another, and hold each other accountable as we strive to walk in God’s path.

It is also essential that we make a conscious effort to filter out the noise of the world. 

This doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the sand.

But rather, we must learn to discern what is truly important and what is merely a distraction.

By staying informed and engaged, we can make wise decisions that are rooted in our faith, and live in a way that serves God.

God is with us every step of the way.

This is how he aids us in resisting temptation.

He will support us if we let Him.

And He will give us the strength to stay on the path He has laid out for us.

So let’s resist distraction, follow God’s guidance, praise Jesus, and journey together toward the Lord’s eternal kingdom.

Why Being A Christian Takes Strength

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

The world we live in often celebrates strength and power.

We admire those who can overcome obstacles, push through challenges, and come out victorious.

But when it comes to our Christian walk, we are asked to embrace a different kind of strength

One that requires vulnerability and humility.

Many people think that being a Christian is just about following rules and avoiding fun or pleasure.

And yet, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

You see, being a Christian is about recognizing our own imperfections and weaknesses, and admitting that we need God’s grace and forgiveness.

To confess our sins and admit our shortcomings, we must be willing to be vulnerable.

This is not a sign of weakness, but rather, a testament to our strength.

It takes immense courage to bare our souls before God and others, revealing the parts of ourselves that we’d rather keep concealed.

In a world that often rewards bravado and self-sufficiency, this kind of vulnerability can feel incredibly counterintuitive. 

But as Christians, we know that our true strength comes not from ourselves, but from our loving and merciful God.

When we confess our sins and share our struggles, we are taking a brave step toward spiritual growth.

We are allowing ourselves to be molded by God’s loving hands, transformed by His grace, and guided by His wisdom.

And in the process, we are deepening our relationship with our Creator and becoming more like Christ.

This journey isn’t one we must embark upon alone.

Our community plays a vital role in supporting and encouraging us as we strive to embrace authenticity and vulnerability.

Together, we can help one another stay accountable, uplift each other in prayer, and give a shoulder to lean on during times of struggle.

So let’s embrace the strength that comes from vulnerability.

Let us be bold in confessing our sins and admitting our need for God’s grace. 

And as we do, let us remember that our true strength lies not in our own abilities,

But in the boundless love and mercy of our Heavenly Father.

I really love learning new prayers, or re-discovering a prayer that I haven’t heard in a very long time!

If you’re kind enough to be reading this article , I’d love, and very much appreciate, for you to share with me your favorite Christian prayers.

So if you have time, please post your favorite prayers, or even a Bible verse that’s extremely special to you in the comments section!

How Your Faith in Christianity Can Make Your Heart Stronger

We, as followers of Christ, have an incredible fortress at our disposal…

Our faith. 

We’ve been taught not to be anxious, but to let our worries be known to God through prayer and supplication. 

In doing so, a peace that surpasses any understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

One of our greatest tools for combating anxiety is forgiveness.

Holding onto grudges is proven to increase our stress levels, which can detrimentally impact our heart health. 

On the other hand, forgiveness, a cornerstone of our faith, can reduce this stress and encourage a peaceful state of mind.

Forgiveness is not just about absolving others of their wrongdoings.

It’s about freeing ourselves from the chains of resentment that bind us, chains that place undue stress on our hearts.

When we forgive, we create an environment of peace and love within us, which promotes improved physical health.

Jesus Himself set the greatest example of forgiveness on the cross.

In the midst of pain and betrayal, He chose to forgive.

His words, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” echo in our hearts, reminding us of the power and necessity of forgiveness.

Practicing forgiveness is not always easy. It requires humility and strength.

But it’s important to remember that we’re not alone in this process. 

We can always seek God’s help in prayer, asking Him to give us the strength to forgive just as He forgives us.

As we practice forgiveness, we are guarding our hearts from the potential effects of stress and anxiety.

Let us continue walking God’s path, and enjoy the health benefits along the way.

How “Turning The Other Cheek” Can Keep Your Heart Healthy

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

It’s a teaching everyone’s heard before

“If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also.“ (Luke 6:29)

This simple, yet profound saying can have incredible benefits if we truly understand what it means.

More specifically, it can contribute to the well-being of our hearts.

You will see how in a minute.

No matter where we look nowadays, we are bombarded with situations that evoke negative emotions.

An offensive comment, a misunderstanding, an argument, the list goes on.

Responding to these situations with anger and resentment can seem natural.

But what most people don’t realize is that getting angry does more harm than good.

Scientists have found that individuals who frequently experience anger are more prone to heart disease.

Anger induces physiological stress, raising blood pressure, accelerating heart rate, and triggering inflammation.

In other words, anger places a heavier burden on the heart.

This is why people who can’t control their emotions experience frequent strokes.

How does “turning the other cheek” factor into this?

When we choose to let go of our anger and resentment, to “turn the other cheek,” we essentially reduce the harmful impact of these negative emotions on our systems. 

We reduce our stress levels, blood pressure, and decrease inflammation.

The more I reflect on this, the more it makes sense.

Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek not just for the sake of our spiritual health, but also for our physical well-being.

He truly wants what’s good for us in every aspect of our existence.

Does this mean we should let others walk over us? Of course not. We must stand firm in our convictions and uphold what is right.

However, it means that we should strive to react to provocations with a spirit of forgiveness, rather than anger and resentment.

We should trust in God to handle our battles and take care of our hearts, both physically and spiritually.

So, the next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, remember the wisdom of Jesus’s teaching to turn the other cheek. 

Your heart will thank you for it.
